Abstract
A drip-pan apparatus is used to collect meat drippings from meats placed on a grill positioned above the apparatus. The apparatus has several inclined channel members each of which includes a lower section of a wide, U-shaped cross-section, and an upper section of a narrow, U-shaped cross-section placed within the upper end of the lower section at the lower end thereof. Each of the lower and upper sections has several positioning holes formed along the length thereof. A pin is inserted through selected positioning holes of the lower and upper sections. The side walls of the lower ends of the lower sections have oval holes which are positioned in a line. A lower coupling rod is inserted through all of the oval holes of the lower sections and has several cavities formed along the length thereof which are engaged with the side walls of the lower sections. The lower coupling rod may be rotated relative to the lower sections so as to disengage the side walls of the lower sections from the cavities, thereby disconnecting the lower coupling rod from the lower sections. The upper ends of the upper sections are interconnected by an upper coupling rod in the same manner as that of the lower sections. A collecting trough is attached to the lower coupling rod and has an open end positioned immediately under all of the lower ends of the lower sections.
